Access Hollywood originally reported the news, along with a statement from NBC, which reads: "After an incredible run together, Alison Sweeney will not be returning as host of 'The Biggest Loser' next season."

In 2014, Sweeney ended her run on "Days of our Lives" after twenty-one years as Sami Brady/Hernandez/DiMera to focus more on her family and her hosting duties on "The Biggest Loser." At the time, she opened up to Health magazine about the decision.
